I have a 256mb video card.... it does plenty. I'm sure you'll find a LOT under $200. Plus I hear 128mb video cards are great too and you can find those under $100. good luck.

Im more of a nvidia kinda guy... just out of all the PC's ive built and used there cards never had a problemo.

And blue I know where to get them but I want some EXTRA opinions on which specific ones to get.

if you can find a 7600 GT AGP for a good price get that... if not the 7600 GS is only about 120 or so....
